The first metatarsal also rotates on its axis as it swings out. The ligament system that should be beneath it and big toe is now more towards second toe joint. In the healthy foot the mechanics are incredible in their pre thought out design. Bone, ligament, tendon, muscle, cartilage, blood flow, nerve systems, skin and nail coverings. Able to last a lifetime,,, incredible! Devine engineering.

@billbright1755 5 лет назад

The foot as all of our body is an amazing work of engineering, but bunions are unfortunately a fact for some people, the binding force of the outer foot can’t keep that first metatarsal in line any longer. No fun! People with perfect feet are so fortunate as they function with out virtually any thought to the miracle they preform over a lifetime.

I've got a bunion on each foot 😔

@freaker126 3 года назад

when i was a boy, i already had the pain from too much walking. But, didn't really think much about it. Until i got enlisted to the military, it becomes worse. As i still thought it was nothing, and didn't know until only a few years ago that it was called a bunion. That's when i google about it. I realized now how common it is. Sometimes i feel like cutting the whole toe-off. Sometimes, i couldn't even walk but other times it seems ok. I'm going to try the bunion corrector if it'll straight my toe up. I kinda afraid of surgery. Also, it'll cost.

@helenbrown3752 2 года назад

I've had this issue since I was about 12. I also did figure skating, so it came from that.

@prettyevil6662000 Год назад

I've had one since as long as I can remember. I actually thought my non-bunion foot was the weird one when I was a kid because foot drawings always show the foot having a little outward piece at the big toe joint. Since we're just born with feet shaped to have bunions, I think any age is normal for it to start hurting.

@FieldMarshalRommel23 2 года назад

I have a very high pain tolerance but when it comes to my feet the agony I feel from impacts is unbearable. I have moderate hallux valgus with no pain unless I bang my foot on something. Would I be suitable for surgery?

@nissaforyou 3 года назад

I have a bunion, but my second bone looks diformed at the top, like it's broken but it's not. I also have some bone mass on the right part of my toe.

@hay2150 6 лет назад

I’m 12 and I have a bunion on both feet and it’s really painful and when I’m doing my school work I can’t think cause my bunion really hurts on both feet especially my right toe. My mum won’t take me to the doctors to get it checked so I might as well go when I’m older to go to the doctor without any parent because my mum won’t take me probably when I’m about 18

@aasaish90 6 лет назад

For treatment of Bunion without surgery, use of valgomed is very effective. Visit bunioncure.us for more info

@KatelynMcQuade 5 лет назад

You can’t get surgery until after your foot has grown completely so even if you went to the doctor they wouldn’t do anything until your about 16-18

@megg7558 5 лет назад

Sweet heart you don't need surgery I fixed my bunion problem with exercise of my feet during watching movies. Walk on tippy toes to avoid locking in, your joints must remain flexible. Watch RU-vid videos on foot exercise and do it while you watch movies daily for about 3 weeks

@deestefmorr 4 года назад

im sorry.

@simonegodwin7449 4 года назад

@@megg7558 without seeing her feet you've decided they can be fixed in three weeks? Ive had them since 5. No amount if excerise can fix a genetic issue.

@msfox103able 3 года назад

I'm only 27 I've had 3 ankle surgeries but now I have a tailors bunion when I drive it feels like I'm having a knife stabbing me should I have the surgery? My Dr said my bone is moving in a different direction.

@angel_cat 3 года назад

Consult your doctor. But like what was mentioned in the video, it's likely an option since you're already having pain. Usually, the doctors will tell you that if it's not hurting, they recommend not complicating things. So the surgery is usually recommended when it's already affecting activities of daily living. Hope you're doing well.

@Mai-po1me 2 года назад

Bunions are horrible! I can wear shoes… But not for a long time, because the pressure causes pain. Also, bunions are such an insecurity of mine.

@peachmelba9333 2 года назад

I have this plus hammering/malleting of my left great toe. I am one of those rare birdies whose hammer-toes were congenital so I have fought through osteo. & Podiatric surgeries before; my Great toe is now envious, wants to kiss # 3 toe, in a week and half His " plotting" will be thwarted with yet another surgery. Fearful? Not really- my pearl of wisdom? When you fear more LIVING AS YOU ARE more than you do SURGICAL INTERVENTION ***it truly is SURGERY TIME

@raelyncurtis3562 5 лет назад

Wait on this one until your 16-18. I had to go through hell and back begging my doctor to help me and im 16.

@raelyncurtis3562 5 лет назад

Oh it isnt all pain free and rainbows. Around 4 days after surgery when they take the wrap off wooo its ugly. Then the dry skin and when they take the stitches out...

@raelyncurtis3562 5 лет назад

plus is does take an entire 6 to 8 weeks for the bone to heal and a respectable doctor will say no walking until that point. I was in a wheelchair for 8 weeks because i couldn't use crutches.

@suchistheuniverse7858 2 года назад

"Bunion is inherent". Could you site research proving that? AFAIK now it is due to "unhealthy" shoes /footwear.

@manny_f 2 года назад

Amen. I have no idea why the footwear industry insists in perpetuating this self-created disease. People simple wear whatever they can buy at stores, and right now people buy funnel-shaped shoes because that's all there is at stores, that, plus the fact that "minimalist" footwear is overpriced. It would cost a big company such as Adidas next to nothing to make minimalist footwear (wide toe box, zero drop, thinner soles). It really isn't rocket science, but I guess too many people are making a ton of money from unhealthy feet (for example the clinic that posted this video, Indy Podietry).

@georgeking2369 Год назад

How right you are that's all they think about is money
